    Abstract: A method and apparatus for intermodulation product (IMP) cancellation. In one embodiment, the method comprises: acquiring copies of source signals that create IMPs in a passband of interest; creating copies of the IMPs for use as IMP cancellation signals by either multiplying the source signals together as a series of digital samples such that the multiplied signals create a near real and continuous time copy of the IMPs or creating a sum of the source signals in near real and continuous time and convolving the sum of the source signals with a mathematical model to effectively multiply the signals together to create a copy of the IMPs; adjusting one or both of phase and amplitude of the copies; and using the copies to cancel the IMPs inband of the passband of interest.

    Abstract: A receiver system has at least one antenna that receives a plurality of signals, including a desired signal, across a wide band of frequencies. At least one tunable filter is in signal communication with the at least one antenna, and filters the plurality of signals to produce a plurality of filtered signals. Gain control circuitry is in signal communication with the at least one tunable filter, and produces a gain adjusted version of the filtered signals. A processing unit processes received signals in a portion of the wide band to extract signal characteristics of at least one undesired signal in the portion of the wide band. The at least one tunable filter is tuned based at least in part on the signal characteristics of the at least one undesired signal to maintain the SNR of the desired signal above a threshold level at the output of the gain control circuitry.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for signal path isolation for neutral-host hardware are provided. In one embodiment, an isolation circuit for a multiple-subchannel wireless communication transceiver comprises: a Tx path coupled to a transmit path output of a multiple-subchannel transceiver; a Rx path coupled to a receive path input of the transceiver; a precancellation circuit comprising: an isolation adjustment circuit within the transmit path of the isolation circuit, the isolation adjustment circuit comprising a phase shifter and a reflection tuner; a directional coupler within the Rx path of the isolation circuit. The isolation adjustment circuit outputs a reflected wave signal comprising a cancellation reference signal to the directional coupler. The cancellation reference signal comprises a complex conjugate of a TX signal leakage signal component of a signal transported in the Rx path of the isolation circuit. Within the directional coupler the cancellation reference signal destructively interferes with TX signal leakage signal component.

    Abstract: A wireless device includes a wireless receiver configured to receive a respective plurality of receive signals from a respective receiving antenna of a plurality of receiving antennas and an interference mitigation circuit coupled to the respective receiving antenna and including a neural network. The interference mitigation circuit is configured to receive an interference mitigation mode signal indicating two or more interference types of a plurality of interference types to mitigate. In response to the interference mitigation mode signal, the interference mitigation circuit is configured to adjust weights applied by the neural network for adjusted signals to cause the neural network to mitigate the two or more interference types of the plurality of interference types while receiving the plurality of receive signals.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for attenuating an interferer signal are provided. The apparatus includes a tunable filter and an autonomous tracking control circuit. The tunable filter is constructed to receive signals within a frequency bandwidth and includes a plurality of tunable bandpass filters with respective bandpass filter responses. The tunable filter has a band reject filter response that is dependent upon the bandpass filter responses. The autonomous tracking control circuit is constructed to track an interferer signal within the frequency bandwidth and perform voltage control on the plurality of tunable bandpass filters to alter the band reject filter response of the tunable filter such that the interferer signal is attenuated in an output of the tunable filter.

    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) acoustic wave resonator (AWR) filter circuits and methods. Embodiments essentially de-couple the stopband or notch characteristics of an RF filter from the passband characteristics. Accordingly, the de-coupled parameters can be individually designed to meet the specifications of a particular application. Partially-hybridized or fully-hybridized series-arm and parallel-arm AWR filter building blocks enable “de-coupled” RF filters having (1) wideband and low insertion loss passbands and (2) wideband deep notches (stopbands) with a specifically placed notch center frequency, without compromising the passband characteristics. The AWR filter building blocks include an inductance L that matches (resonates with) the electrostatic capacitance CO of the corresponding AWR within a desired passband. The resonance and anti-resonance frequencies of the building block AWRs are selected to be spaced apart from the specified passband in order to provide independent stopband or notch characteristics without substantially affecting the passband characteristics.
